Are You an Adaptive Angler?

Answer Ten Questions to Find Out!

Humans are remarkably well- adapted beings and we have learned to apply this natural legacy to fishing. So, do not be surprised if the adaptive angler story seems familiar, like the same kind of stuff we always do when we are fishing. Some scientists see learning as a human adaptation process that is engaged in every moment of our lives. While there are many ways to learn and innumerable subjects, the book focuses on adaptive ways to become a better angler. 

1. Are you fascinated by new fishing ideas and driven to excel as an angler?
2. Do you set goals for your fishing experiences and objectives for each trip?
3. Are you a strategic thinker, ready to play the mental game that is at the core of fishing skill improvements?
4. Do you understand the role of intuition in making fishing decisions?
5. Do you know how pattern recognition can help you become a better angler?
6. Can you explain why situational awareness is essential to angling skill development?
7. As a fish predator, do you know what it means to become one with your quarry?
8. Are you aware of how much practice it takes to become an expert angler?
9. Is less confidence in fishing sometimes better?
10. Can you make a long-term, mental, and physical commitment to building your fishing skills?

If you answered “yes” to five of the ten questions above, you are on your way to becoming an adaptive angler. But that achievement is no cause for complacency. There is so much ahead of you to learn about adaptive and scientific methods of fishing.

If, like most anglers, it was hard to come up with even a few positive responses, don’t despair… you are not alone, and help is on the way!

The book will explain the adaptive fishing system to you, and it will be a handy reference to help you answer all of the questions above and many more. Adaptive fishing is a substantial concept that can contribute immensely to how you think and perform as an angler. But like any other new concept, it will require understanding, dedication, and artful application to learn.
